The Unknown Sources of Error in the Weighing Process

Mettler-Toledo GmbH

What can go wrong when weighting a sample in a typical GxP regulated or a food and beverage
laboratory? This white paper looks at potential sources of error that could occur when
weighing a sample and how to avoid them by improving the business process. In taking
these approaches a laboratory can eliminate sources of error to improve data integrity and
quality whilst at the same time gaining business efficiency. In addition, elimination of errors
means that out-of-specification (OOS) results are reduced meaning that fewer laboratory
investigations are necessary.
